This company had worked with 2 different off-shore manufacturers that could not get this part right. The company had requested that the supplier come up with a solution to overmold the plastic with a Thermoplastic Elastomer that would aid in the comfort of the device yet also eliminate the secondary operation of appling a sealing gasket.

Customer was launching a new printer for printing labels for marking wires and fiber optics cables. The feed mechanism of the printer consisted of a clutch composed of an o-ring, a sintered cylindrical busing and a shaft. The o-ring is placed over the shaft on a grove and the shaft/o-ring assembly is inserted into the sintered cylinder. As the shaft turns the o-ring turns and because of the friction created by the o-ring against the cylinder wall it turns the cylinder which advances the label.
